Konrad Lorenz is an ethologist who studied geese. In his study, he observed that newly born geese become attach to the first human or geese they see. He divided up geese eggs into two groups, one group will see their mother geese and the other will see him. He noticed that the geese would trail him if he was the first thing they saw and the other group followed the mother goose because she is the first thing they saw.
